All I have to do is jump
There is deceit in the air. I can smell it. There is something I am missing. My classmates are bringing me somewhere for an initiation, but I know something is amiss. It's this unrelenting tug at the back of my mind, screaming at me to get out before it's too late. But I won't back down. I never have, and I never will.
